I just got this from a press group representing the VA. I am going to do more on it later in a story but the courts are slammed this week. However, I wanted to get it up there as soon as I could as I think it’s an issue with a lot of people—elderly veterans who served their country and then are being treated like garbage in their later years. Not cool, says the Fonz. (For you younger people, the Fonz was a cultural icon in the 1970s. Look it up in Wikipedia). Anyway, here it is. I am going to do some double checking and plan to get it into the paper. But for now, enjoy at your leisure.

Peoria-based financial expert and newly appointed Vice President of Midwest Operations of Senior Care for Veterans, tells senior vets how to access free funding.

John Haeffele has been in the financial services industry since 1983 and has been a trusted financial consultant to seniors in Peoria and the Midwest for over 25 years. Newly appointed as General Manager of Senior Care for Veterans Midwest Operations by Ted Gumley, Senior Care founder and CEO, Haeffele works in finance and estate planning for seniors. Haeffele works with seniors in assisted living facilities, long term care facilities, home health care agencies, as well as with individuals and their families. As budgets for seniors continue to be slashed nationwide, Haeffele has taught more and more seniors about an organization devoted to facilitate a little-known but extremely needed pension for veterans and their surviving spouses that help to pay for medical expenses called Senior Care for Veterans (http://www.seniorcareforveterans.us).

According to retired veteran E.G. of Peoria, “Mr. Haeffele came to see me in May of 2009 and got things started with Senior Care. On July 31st I received my first check from the Department of the Treasury through the V.A. I am proof this is not a scam.”

Currently, 33% of all senior veterans in the U.S. are entitled to Aid and Attendance, a multi-billion pension program in place at the Veterans Administration that provides financial assistance for medical care to veterans and their surviving spouses. Sadly, only an estimated 5% of those eligible are actually receiving benefits from this program.

The Aid and Attendance program, established in 1952, was created for veterans and their surviving spouses who are disabled or unable to work due to chronic illness or physical limitations. The funding is available for long term care. Eligible applicants can receive up to $1,948 per month or $23,376 per year.

With the rising cost of medical care, veterans and their spouses need this funding. According to John Haeffele, “I have been working senior veterans and their spouses at assisted living centers, long term care facilities and individually informing them about the Aid and Attendance pension. This is a tremendous benefit for veterans and their families.”

As a representative for Senior Care for Veterans, John Haeffele hopes to add many local senior vets and their spouses to the more than 15,000 nationwide the company has already helped. This financial service has no contractual obligation, is 99% successful in achieving funding for the applicant, and is 100% guaranteed upon approval.
